3 -In LoRaWAN protocol, the gateway transmit packet uses the output power base on the Power Index from the LoRaWAN server downlink. for example, the LoRaWAN server sends a downlink with this info "rf_power=14", gateway got this info and it will search the index for rf_power=14 and use the related rf setting to set output power. In some cases, the LoRaWAN server might set the rf-power to a quite low value ( for example 0dB) which is not practical for use. In such a case, the User can manually change the rf_power=0's rf settings to a higher power out. Below are the methods.

10 -In LoRaWAN protocol, the gateway output power refers to the downstream packets sent by Gateway. This output power is controlled by the LoRaWAN server.

12 -Gateway maintains a power index in the file: /etc/lora/global_conf.json for example:

35 -When the LoRaWAN server sends a downlink stream, the server will also ask the gateway to use rf_power as output. So users don't need to consider controlling on the gateway side.

37 -If users want to always use a higher power or a lower power. Users can modify the pa_gain,mix_gain, and dig_gain to specify rf_power to achieve this purpose. This is not recommended, because this might break the regulator for a specific country.

39 -Please note, that the global_conf.json file will be overwritten by the match region files in /etc/lora/cfg-30x when changing settings on the web. So the user needs to change the files in /etc/lora/cfg-cfg-30x instead of global_conf.json
